QUT CMR Sequencing

The Centre for Microbiome Research (CMR) at Queensland University of Technology provides sequencing services to university researchers, research institutes and industry partners. Based at the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane, our sequencing team supports projects from sample processing through to sequencing, data delivery and bioinformatics analysis.

Our services include DNA and RNA extraction, nucleic acid quality assessment, library preparation, short-read sequencing and Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing. We support diverse applications, including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, microbial isolate whole-genome sequencing and amplicon sequencing.

We have extensive experience processing complex samples, including stool, rumen contents, environmental samples and microbial cultures. We work closely with clients to select suitable methods, sequencing platforms and data requirements, providing practical advice and tailored support throughout each project.
